At the ECB meeting held yesterday, the central bank decided to slow down its asset purchasing program in January.

The ECB will reduce its monthly purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion and will extend those purchases until the end of September 2018, or beyond, if necessary.

The ECB also decided to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.0%. Despite the fact that these decisions were expected by the market, the euro fell sharply after the decision was announced.

In just one hour EUR/USD fell 0.5% and by the end of the day it dropped by 1.56%.
